WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH EVERY ASPECT OF SERVICE FROM THIS COMPANY. FROM THE SECRETARY WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE TO THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY HIMSELF, THIS WAS A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH. THEY WERE FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS, AND OBVIOUSLY HOLD PROFESSIONALISM HIGH ON THEIR LIST OF VALUES. BESIDES THAT, THEIR TECHNICIANS WEAR UNIFORMS, THEY LEFT OUR HOUSE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN, AND THEY FINISHED ALL THE WORK IN LESS THAN 2 DAYS. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
Description of Work: FIRST, THEY CLEANED OUR CHIMNEY, PERFORMED A MANUAL AND VIDEO ANALYSIS OF OUR EXTERNAL AND INTERIOR CHIMNEY AND FIREPLACE, AND REPLACED THE CHIMNEY CAP. THEY SENT US A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THEIR FINDINGS ALONG WITH A PROPOSAL THAT INCLUDED DIGITAL PHOTOS OF OUR CHIMNEY AND REPAIR OPTIONS. THE OWNER, JAMES OWENS, ALSO SPOKE WITH US AT LENGTH TO EXPLAIN THE STATE OF OUR EXISTING CHIMNEY AND TO GIVE HIS EXPERT OPINION. THE ACTUAL REPAIR WORK INVOLVED REMOVING THE EXISTING TILE FLUE LINER AND REPLACING IT WITH A STATE-OF-THE-ART CONCRETE COMPOUND, PROPERLY INSULATING THE SMOKE CHAMBER AREA, REPAIRING THE BACK FIREWALL AND INNER HEARTH, PRESSURE WASHING & WATERPROOFING THE CHIMNEY CASING, CASTING A NEW CROWN AND EXTENDING THE FLUE TILE AND HAULING AWAY ALL RELATED DEBRIS.

THEY WERE CAREFUL NOT TO LEAVE A MESS. FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. PROMPT FOR APPOINTMENT AND QUICK IN DOING THE WORK. I HAD ALSO CONTACTED THEM ABOUT DOING AIR DUCT CLEANING. AS IT TURNS OUT, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET TO MY FURNACE. IT WAS BLOCKED BY SOME PIPES. THEY TRIED EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY TO MAKE THIS WORK, BUT WE EVENTUALLY BOTH DECIDED IT COULDNT BE DONE UNTIL THE HVAC CO. COULD ADJUST THE FREON PIPES. THEY WERE UPFRONT ABOUT THE WHOLE THING AND PUT EVERYTHING BACK THE WAY IT WAS WHEN THEY ARRIVED. ON TOP OF IT ALL, THEY SPENT AN HOUR AT MY HOUSE AND DIDNT CHARGE ME FOR WORK THEY WERE UNABLE TO PERFORM, EVEN WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO PAY THEM FOR THEIR ATTEMPT.

I HAD AN EARLIER CHIMNEY CLEANING FROM A CLEAN SWEEP, BUT AS THEY SUGGESTED SIGNIFICANT REPAIR WORK WAS NECESSARY, I WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER CLEANING PERFORMED. I CONTACTED OWENS CHIMNEY SWEEPS, AND THEY WERE QUITE RESPONSIVE ON THE PHONE, SO I HAD THEM COME OUT. THE GENTLEMAN WHO DID THE WORK WAS VERY HELPFUL, EVEN ALLOWING ME TO WATCH HIS WORK ON THE CAMERA SO THAT I COULD SEE WHAT HE WAS POINTING OUT. IN THE END, IT TURNED OUT THAT REPAIRS WERE INDEED NECESSARY, BUT I FELT MUCH BETTER AFTER THE INFORMATIVE TRIP ON OWENS THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE FROM A CLEAN SWEEP.
